[Chaos-l] Montly Meeting

[Jayme Hanzak]

Greetings everyone. We finally had some clear skies at my house. Unfortunately it was a full moon and the dew point temp seemed to be at 80. 

I still enjoyed looking at the tiny points of light and the moon. 



Tomorrow is our Monthly meeting. Our speaker is Sheila Kannappan and her talk will be,"Galaxy Life Stories: Growing Up in a Violent Universe". 



Here is a short description: 



Spiral galaxies like our Milky Way fill the universe, posing a problem for 
modern theories in which galaxies grow and cluster via mergers of smaller 
galaxies into larger ones.  Mergers tend to to destroy spiral disks and 
create thick/round galaxies. A possible solution to this puzzle lies in our 
recent discovery of a class of galaxies that seem to be rebuilding disks, 
perhaps offering a clue to the life story of our own Milky Way. 



Come on out and share your love for astronomy and learn a little more of what the professional are doing. 



The meeting is at the Carol Woods Assembly Hall and the meeting begins at 7pm. 

I hope to see you there. 



Don't forget to renew your dues. 




Thank you for watching and supporting UNC-TV. 






Jayme
